Recently I wanted a converter to convert data from CSV to XML and spent a good half hour searching through the websites I found in Google. I tried out several utilities until I found the one that satisfied all my requirements regarding the accuracy of conversion, price and speed. I am talking about Advanced CSV Converter. This program exports from CSV to XML like nothing I saw before, so here's its brief overview.

Advanced CSV Converter is a handy tool that converts your CSV file to XML using an accurate and speedy conversion algorithm. Once installed, the software's conversion wizard will let you select the source file to be converted, then you choose the output folder into which you want to save the output XML file and start the conversion process. When the conversion begins, the software extracts data from CSV and ports it to relevant data fields in the output. Once the conversion is over, you can find a new XML file in the destination folder.

Advanced CSV Converter provides some helpful settings that you may find convenient. Firstly, it lets you use the conversion filter by example and choose columns you want to exclude from the conversion. Secondly, you can export not only single files, but many files at a time thanks to the batch mode. Thirdly, power users can convert CSV files from the command line if they find it more convenient than the graphical interface.

XML is not the only output format you can choose. Also Advanced CSV Converter will let you convert data to 9 other formats, such as DBF, TXT, HTML, PRG, XML, SQL and RTF. This can help you in the event when someone wants your database file but his software does not support CSV. If you often need to convert to multiple formats, the program will save you hundreds of dollars because you will not have to buy several dedicated tools.

The application runs under all versions of Windows and does not require any extra drivers to perform export operations.
